Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Here's my very rough go at explaining them but it may be worth googling them. Personality disorders occur when a set group of personality traits impair a persons functioning in day to day life. There are quite a few personality disorders and they have their origins in childhood. I call mine my elephant in the room because at the moment that's how they feel, one more than the other.

@Faith-and-Hope Thank you for your really kind words. You so often nail your responses, it made me cry. I have so many internal battles at the moment and parenting is right up there currently.

Thank you both 😊💜

I'm sorry @Kurra, but I read that as cow-worker, even before you mentioned the passive-aggressive part .....

Is that wrong ? ...... 😉

Congrats on handling her so well ❣

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo I really think that the right person makes the difference but you have to really feel comfortable and secure with them. I have only had one that I can be 100% open and honest with. Luckily she is the one I'm seeing. How was ?your day

@Decadian. I've just deleted this post mostly because it didn't really make sense and was my overtired brain talking
